"Vehicle technology is advancing
that may result in the replacement of certified transit bus operators and truck
drivers with commercial drivers' licenses. These employees could be replaced
with lower qualified “pilots” or eliminated completely. Similar to previous
North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) work with the aviation
industry regarding airplane pilots, aircraft mechanics, and air traffic
controllers, this item would initiate a conversation and advance a needs assessment
that evaluates changes in these industries and possible implications to these
employees. It is likely this initiative could be part of a larger coalition of
other interested parties. It is anticipated that the RTC would engage the
NCTCOG Workforce Development Board and companion boards of Dallas and Tarrant
Counties."
